Wow that was a gorgeous film, I wish I had seen it in 3D. Really looked fantastic. It's definitely a film about characters rather than a deep plot. However they really laid on the 'Family' thing pretty quick. And stretched the 'Groot's Cute' thing to the limit.

I knew as soon as they referenced Hasselhof as Quill's dad that he was going to get a cameo.

Drax has all the best lines.

Damn I wish they hadn't killed off Yondu, I really liked his character in this and was looking forward to him being around more. At least he got a great send off.

I hope Stallone's crew are all signed on for Vol. 3, and completely missed that one of them was Miley Cyrus

Was Glenn Close actually in the movie? She was credited but I didn't see her.

In the theatre during the credits I actually asked someone 'Was that Jeff Goldblum dancing?' and interesting tie in to Thor.

None of the post credit stuff was really meaningful at all, I guess other than to show that Groot was growing up.

Loved it! The local theater chain had me dress up in my Groot costume and pose for pictures for a couple hours before the premiere, then I went to see it after. The theater's marketing manager gave me a whole bunch of GOTG swag and coupons for free food.

The movie was hilarious. It may have had more laugh out loud moments than the first one. Overall, the first is better (how could anything top it), but the second one is pretty great. It dragged a bit in the middle (Starlord spends most of the movie hanging out and talking), but it's certainly not a fatal flaw. Everything with Yondu was great. Michael Rooker is super cool.

I had a great time at it. Not as good as the first but still a lot of fun.

SPOILER: So they finally did the fan theory that Stan Lee is a Watcher? The final end credits scene seemed to put that in question. Also, wasn't it the Fantastic Four (2005) that he was referencing when he said he was a mailman? That's a Fox movie, not Marvel Studios.

I'm confused about the end credit scene where the gold lady has made a cocoon and says the being in it is named Adam. I thought James Gunn has already said that the organic cocoon that the Collector had was Adam Warlock's.

I was disappointed that we didn't get to see Thanos at all, but I liked that they established Nebula's hatred and vengeance against him. That is apparently going to be a big part of the second Infinity War movie.

What I find remarkable about the Guardians of the Galaxy movies is their ability to pluck some of the most insane elements out of the Marvel universe and make them work. The Guardians themselves were already a pretty odd grouping of obscure Marvel characters, but then they go and throw Ego the Living Planet in the mix and it just works. That Silver Age nuttiness really works in these movies.

I love that the other Guardians have each taken a shine in their own way to Star Lord's old Earth music. Baby Groot is obviously eating it up like any impressionable child would. You never get a scene where Rocket is suddenly converted, but it's obvious he wants to hear it during tense battles.

Deep down within me is a cynical Gen Xer (I obviously never listen to him) and he wants to hate Baby Groot SO bad, but I just can't. It's obvious, toyetic, corporate pandering, but I unabashedly loved Baby Groot. I feel less cool for admitting it (And I was never all that cool), but every scene with him won me right over.

That was a pretty high on-screen death count for a PG-13 rated movie. I just looked it up, and the first Guardians of the Galaxy actually holds that record, but this one looks like it could at least give it a run for its money.

Great costume there Kete! I hope you didn't break character and say anything else..

Best parts: 1st half, Stan Lee, Drax, Ego playing catch with Starlord (loved that part), the gold people, the visuals, the ultraviolence

Worst parts: Windu dying, crowbarring in the Ravagers, Moondragon wasn't all that interesting, the final battle was kind of boring, Taserface wasn't as funny as the moviemakers thought, Starlord graduating to an ipod, baby Groot, no Thanos, the music mostly sucked, trite stingers

I think they were implying Stan Lee was a potential watcher but he's kind of a clown so they walked away from him.

I thought the gold people were rather boring, except for the hilarious video game aspect of the spaceship battle. I had completely forgotten about them by the time they showed up in the final fight, and they just served to make it take longer and be more chaotic.

Did anybody else think they might have been a parody of Trump? With all the gold and the inflated sense of self worth.
